Kenichi Akiyama carefully dismantled a rocket, and after doing some research, he worriedly took the information to see Okamura Neji.
Okamura Neji was discussing something with Shinozuka Yoshio in the headquarters. As soon as Akiyama Ken came in, he couldn't wait to get up and greet him: "Akiyama-kun, have you discovered anything?"
"Yes, Lieutenant General!" Akiyama Kenichi respectfully handed over the information in his hands with both hands and said: "This is the photo and description I took. It is indeed very similar to the 'spray bomb', and can even be said to be
It’s our army’s ‘spray bomb’, but...”
"But what?" Okamura Neji took the information and opened it.
"However, I think it is more advanced than the 'jet-injection bomb'!" Kenichi Akiyama replied: "The reason why the 'jet-injection bomb' has not been equipped in batches with the troops is that the shooting accuracy cannot meet the requirements of the troops, and the reason for its poor accuracy is
One is that the gunpowder particles in the solid gunpowder column are unevenly distributed. This has always been a problem for us, but the solid gunpowder column used by the enemy has a very uniform distribution of gunpowder particles. Therefore, its flight is more stable, that is,
It has higher accuracy than our army’s ‘spray-injection bomb’.”
"Are you crazy?" Shinozuka Yoshio objected dissatisfiedly: "Akiyama-kun, are you wrong? How could the Eighth Route Army be more advanced than us?"
"I don't know what's going on." Kenichi Akiyama replied: "For this reason, I also cut a section of the gunpowder column for testing, and the result was indeed the same. This is the effect we have always hoped to achieve but failed to achieve, and the enemy achieved it
.”
Okamura Neiji continued to flip through the information, and then asked thoughtfully: "So, Akiyama-kun, do you think it is possible that this was developed by captured researchers for the Eighth Route Army?"
"This possibility is not ruled out!" Akiyama Kenichi lowered his head and replied: "However, it may be very small. Because Asano Aihara has been trying to make the 'jet bomb' rotate to enhance its flight stability. Suddenly he changed the research direction.
And he also solved a problem that had been unsolved for many years in a short period of time... incredible!”
After hearing this, Okamura Neji understood.
"So, I think my analysis is correct." Okamura Neiji said: "The Eighth Route Army must have a weapons expert, and his level of weapons and equipment may be far higher than that of our army."
"Weapons expert?" Akiyama Kenichi was very shocked. He originally thought that this was a technology that Mao Xiong secretly gave to the Eighth Route Army.
The reason is that Akiyama Kenichi received the news that Mao Xiong was probably secretly equipped with a "spray" weapon.
If this information is true, it means that Mao Xiong possesses this kind of technology, so it would not be surprising that this kind of technology would appear in China.
But Okamura Neji denied this statement.
"If this is the case, then the troops in Chongqing should be equipped with more 'spray bombs'!" Neiji Okamura analyzed: "But the fact is that Chongqing does not have them. As far as I know, the Shanxi-Sui Army recently used a large number of
of food to buy bazookas. So, this can’t happen!”
Akiyama Kenichi didn't know how to explain this phenomenon.
However, Okamura Neji was right. At this time, Mao Xiong could only support Chongqing militarily according to the agreement.
The reason is that the Eighth Route Army is strictly speaking a force under the Chongqing command structure, and foreign support must pass through Chongqing and then be transferred to the Eighth Route Army.
Therefore, if Mao Xiong gives technology to China, it is unlikely that the Eighth Route Army will have it but Chongqing will not know about it.
Then Okamura Neiji handed some photos to Akiyama Kenichi and said: "These are the new weapons that have appeared in the Eighth Route Army recently. They include bullet mines, directional mines, 50 small artillery and things called 'ghost cannons'"
"Some of them are imitations of our army's equipment, but some have never appeared on the battlefield. But they all have one thing in common, that is, they are very suitable for production under the backward military industrial conditions of the Eighth Route Army."
Akiyama Kenichi frowned as he flipped through the photos.
If you connect everything, Okamura Neji's analysis makes a lot of sense.
These things appeared before Asano Aihara and his party were captured, so of course it was not Asano Aihara who was playing a role.
At the same time, the technology exported to China by Mao Xiong cannot be so perfectly in line with the production conditions and production requirements of the Eighth Route Army. Among them, directional mines and bullet mines are not even available in Mao Xiong.
But……
The Eighth Route Army, a weapons expert, has more advanced technology than the Empire, and can easily realize the actual combat of "spraying bombs". It is terrible... After all, the Empire has been trying hard for so many years and has not been able to achieve it!
At this time, a staff officer came forward and reported: "Your Excellency, Lieutenant General, the Moriyama Brigade found a complete 'spray bomb' launcher in Yucun."
This was a rocket launcher who died in the isolation trench. Since it was a night battle and he was eager to evacuate, the rocket launcher and two rockets were lost on the battlefield and could not be recovered.
Okamura Neiji was overjoyed and ordered: "Send them to the military headquarters immediately!"
More than two hours later, the rocket launcher and rocket grenades were delivered to Okamura Neji.
Akiyama Kenichi tried the rocket launcher and praised it sincerely: "What a genius idea. It is launched with such a cylindrical launcher, and then sprayed into flight until it hits the target. The whole equipment is integrated, just like it was originally supposed to be."
.It’s hard to believe they were able to develop this weapon to such perfection in just over a month!”
Okamura Neiji was not concerned about the rocket launcher itself. He stared at the side wall of the rocket launcher for a while, and then he was overjoyed: "I may know the enemy's arsenal and even the location of their weapons experts."
Yoshio Shinozuka asked in confusion: "How did Lieutenant General know?"
Okamura Ningji took the rocket launcher from Kenichi Akiyama's shoulder, laid it flat on his desk, then pointed to the word "Lu" engraved on the side and said, "This is the reason."
Yoshio Shinozuka still didn't know why, he didn't even recognize the Chinese character.
Okamura Neiji explained: "Those who engrave weapons usually have two possibilities. One is to engrave their last name to distinguish them from others, and the other is to engrave the name of the place where it was produced and be proud of it.
"
After saying that, Okamura Neji smiled proudly and continued: "If it's the former, it doesn't mean much, because it only represents the shooter's surname. But Shinozuka-kun, look at this sword technique..."
Shinozuka Yoshio looked at it and then understood: "I understand, this is carved with a carving knife. Ordinary soldiers will not have such a carving knife!"
Okamura Neiji nodded and said: "So, this is not a person's surname, it is more likely a place name, a place name starting with the character "Lu", which is where the arsenal is located!"
